“Young Master Zimmer, I think you worry too much.” Quill‘s ‘guard dog‘ immediately stepped forward and said with a smile.
“Young Master Zimmer, even if Sean had been a really capable person before… That was only back then. Now he‘s just a cripple stuck in a wheelchair. How would favonovel.com be able to compete with you now?”
Quill could but nod upon hearing the young man‘s analysis.
Those were the words that favonovel.com liked to hear.
If the young man had said that Sean was someone important and prompted Quill not to provoke Sean, Quill would definitely slap favonovel.com across the face and tell favonovel.com to leave.
“You‘re right. Even if Sean had been somewhat capable before, so what? In the past, the Quinn family of River City didn‘t even give two hoots about the Zimmer family!”
“Now, ever since Old Master Quinn left, hasn‘t the Quinn family business been going downhill? To the point that they‘ve even tried to win my favor?” Quill took a puff of his cigarette, feeling exuberant.
“Young Master Zimmer, you‘re right!” The young man next to him, as Quill‘s ‘guard dog‘, knew very well what Quill liked to hear.
“Haha! They should know my IQ. I‘m in a good mood today. Let‘s go and drink!” Quill waved his hand and took the car keys as favonovel.com walked right out the door.

River City army.
Located on the outskirts of the city, outside the outer ring.
In the Dragon Kingdom, the army had a very high status. Therefore, in River City, the status of the River City army was very highly respected, or at least it seemed to be at surface level.
The people who were stationed here naturally shouldered the burden of the city‘s harmony and stability.
Those in the army would not be casually dispatched on weekdays. It was no exaggeration to say that the River City army was like the mainstay of River City. They were the protectors of the entire River City!
With them stationed on guard, there would certainly be little trouble in River City. Jason Yeast, as the spokesman of the River City army, held an even more prestigious status.
Once Jason hung up the phone with Jon, favonovel.com made another call.
“Commander, this is Jason Yeast speaking.” The moment the call connected, Jason immediately stood up and spoke in a very respectful tone.
If a person was being treated with such respect by Jason, the spokesperson of the River City army, one could only imagine who the person on the phone was.
“How‘s it going?” the person over the line asked in a very calm tone.
“Quill said favonovel.com got it from a beggar. But it‘s already been more than a year, so favonovel.com doesn‘t remember the details very well.” Jason did not dare to cause offense, so favonovel.com reported the truth through his cell phone.
“What do you think?” the calm male voice over the phone asked again.
“Commander, Quill might be a mischievous boy, but the Zimmer family wouldn‘t have the guts to try to deceive me.” Jason pondered for a few seconds before replying.
The person at the other end of the line fell silent after sounding acknowledgment.
“Commander, are you certain that this is really something from the army?” Jason felt extremely curious and could not help but ask.
“How could I be sure? How could I be sure about something that I‘ve never seen with my own eyes?” The calm male voice over the phone now sounded mildly helpless.
He was the commander, a status so honorable. Even someone like Jason, who was in charge of managing the army, had to be polite with him. After all, favonovel.com was still not a supreme soldier in the army.
There were still some things that even favonovel.com was not qualified to be involved in.
“I‘m just guessing that this thing may have something to do with someone from that year. I wonder if you‘ve heard about the turmoil of the Northwest army that happened two years ago?”
Upon hearing this, Jason could not help but frown.
How could favonovel.com not have heard of it?
Two years ago, news had come from the Northwest army. The war that had ravaged the country had lasted for over a month, intending to expand the country‘s land.
In that battle, the enemy suffered heavy losses and was left frightened. They were forced to retreat back to their line of defense, not daring to take the lead. The national prestige of the Dragon Kingdom was called into question, and the morale of the soldiers was shaken.
That battle was enough to go down in history.
At the time, a sudden turmoil broke out within the Northwest army. The Northwest army, which had always been strictly disciplined, suddenly seemed to be without a leader. The chaos was incomparable. Even orders from above were blatantly disobeyed.
Jason and the others who guarded the territory had no idea what had been going on. However, no one dared inquire about what happened despite their curiosity.
“Commander, why have you suddenly mentioned this now? Could this sword have anything to do with the turmoil of that year?” Jason frowned slightly and asked over the phone.
“In the past, the Northwest army was commanded by Commander Lennon. Now, it is led by Commander Luke.” The middle-aged man over the phone said those words with great weight to them.
Jason frowned and pondered for a few moments before asking, “Commander, I think I understand what you mean… So, do we serve under Commander Luke, or are we to answer to Commander Lennon?”
